Hi everyone !

We've just wrapped up the first live chat for The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. If you've missed it and you want to watch it, check out Youtube ! I know that some members save the live chats and upload them on Youtube.

We will next discuss the end of the book (pt.II + epilogue) on SATURDAY, December 23rd at 12pm EST.

A little quote from the book.
«Whoever you are, or whatever it is that you do, when you really want something, it's because that desire originated in the soul of the universe. It's your mission on Earth. »

Happy reading :)

Hello everyone !

Happy Saturday ! I hope everyone's okay.
We've just wrapped up the live for this week, with Jordan Morello, one of Alberto's friend, as a special guest.

Next and last live chat for Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom will be held on Saturday, January 20th at the now usual 12pm EST. We are going to talk about the end of the book, from the 7th Tuesday until the end, since there is not that many pages left.
And then, Alberto will talk about the schedule for our next book, Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury.

Happy reading to you all :)

Hello hello hello !

How are you ? How was your week ?

We've just had our first live for Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury.
On Saturday, February 3rd at 12pm EST, we will talk about the second part of the book.

Another update: as you probably know, after Bradbury's book, we're going to read Catch-22 by Joseph Heller. Alberto told us what will read after Heller's book: it's going to be Breakfast of Champions, by Kurt Vonnegut.

Happy reading and have an amazing week ! :)

Hello everyone !

I hope you're having a lovely week-end so far.

Little update: there will be no live today, because Alberto is not available.

But, since there are only a few chapters left, Alberto said on the Rosende Reads Instagram Story that next week, we are going to finish Breakfast of Champions.
The live will be held on Saturday, April 14th at 12 pm EST (if it changes, I will update it as soon as I can).

Don't forget that our next book on the list is Lord of the Flies , by William Golding.

Hello friends !

How are you ?

We've just finished the last live for Lord of The Flies by William Golding.

The next book we will be discussing is The Handmaid's Tale, by Margaret Atwood.
We need to read the introduction for the next live, which will be held some time at the end of the week (maybe Friday).

Alberto is having some personal issues right now and had to cut the live short. I'll try to post an update as soon as I can, when the time and day will be more precise.

Also, another little update: this summer , the bookclub will go on a break, as Alberto will be travelling a lot.

I hope you're all having a great week so far.

Sending lots of love, prayers and positive thoughts to Alberto and his family.

Hello everyone !

I hope you're all doing very well :)

As you may have noticed by the lack of updates and lives, Rosende Reads is on break for the summer.

But today, we got some news ! During his panel at The Hunters of Shadows 2 —the Shadowhunters convention in Paris (France)—, Alberto announced that Rosende Reads will be back in September , and the first book we will discuss will be:
The Handmaid's Tale, by Margaret Atwood.

I hope you're all going to enjoy your summer and have the best time ever !
Sending lots of love to all of you.

Happy reading :)
